Any other 50-ish guys have hot flashes?

[Oeditpus Rex]

I've been having them for a couple weeks. Hot skin with what feels like little pins and needles sticking me. :shrug:

Is this part of male menopause?



(Note that I'm not asking for advice. Just feedback.)

1. If it happens only when you think about SeattleGirl and Mutley and

...Heidi, then don't worry about it. They have that effect on lots of guys.

[Mutley]

2. Hey, don't leave yourself out of that either, sweets.

:D

You're a hottie!

9. neurodermatitis can be localized with similar symptoms at the skin level...

taken any niacin lately :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear bridgit!

My husband had hot flashes when he started taking niacin for his cholesterol....

His doctor advised him to take some baby ASA with each dose, and that took care of the hot flashes!

:hi:

[bridgit]

14. yes ma'am, niacin is powerful stuff alright...

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

19. And for those not in the know ASA=Aspirin

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Yeah, as a matter o' fact

My doctor's got me on it to raise my HD... LD... "good" cholesterol.

Why?

[bridgit]

15. cause it'll put a 'flush' to your vascular system...

can feel like pins & needles in the process

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Huh

My doctor didn't warn me about that. I'll mention it to her on Monday.

Thanks. :hi:

[pitohui]

24. well it's definitely the niacin, did you know they have non flush kinds

ask at your vitamin store, it is not a comment on your age, it can happen to anyone at any age who takes niacin, it is a comment on the formulation of the niacin

apparently some like the sensation, pearson and shaw recommended couples try a dose of niacin before sex but i don't esp. recommend it

18. Nican is tuff stuff!

I had to stop taking it.

16. Um . . . You are going to die.

After all, everybody does. ;)

21. This guy definately gets hot flashes..

Actually I used to get them while taking certain medications...I hated waking
up feeling like I had a high fever. Don't take them anymore..problem solved.

[ThomCat]

23. I've had hotflashes since I was 22

That's 16 years now. It's a side effect of some of my health/disability issues. Meds only make it worse.
:grr:
